This was my first book by VE Schwab. It has been on my TBR for few years, and I am grateful I finally got to read this. Addie is our female main character and I fell in love with her story. We watch her grow into a young woman in rural France in the 1700s. She is born with an innate stubbornness and a dreaming quality of what could be beyond their front door. She is too wild to be tamed and manages to escape her small town after making a deal with the Gods that answer in the night. Though she is granted freedom, she is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets. This review is hard to write without giving away any spoilers! I fell in love with Schwab’s writing style and the way she told Addie’s story with the history woven into each arc. This will make my favorites shelf though with the ending, it may be some time before I feel like rereading it again. (4/5 rating)
Hmm is anyone else experiencing problems with the pictures on this blog loading? I’m trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if it’s the blog. Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
